Infoseek exec nabbed on sex charges LOS ANGELES (AP) - An executive of the Web portal site Infoseek was arrested for investigation of soliciting sex with a teen-ager over the Internet, authorities said. Patrick J. Naughton was arrested Thursday by FBI agents at the Santa Monica Pier, U.S. Attorney's spokesman Thom Mrozek said Saturday. An affidavit filed in federal court accused Naughton, an executive vice president of Infoseek, of interstate travel with the intent of having sex with a minor, Mrozek said. It alleged that Naughton, who oversees the Walt Disney Co.'s Go Network Internet sites, sent lewd messages in an Internet chat room to a male FBI agent posing as a 13-year-old girl, the Los Angeles Times said Saturday. Naughton, 34, of Seattle, was released Friday pending an Oct. 12 arraignment, Mrozek said. There was no comment from Naughton. Disney acquired a stake in Infoseek last year and worked with it to create the Go Network, which competes with other portal sites to offer Web searches, entertainment and personalized news. In July, Disney said it was acquiring all of Infoseek.
